Unable to figure out why this isn't working

Hi, I am trying to undertake an exercise in which a payroll file is generated. Unfortunately, I seem to be having problems with respect to passing values to functions that calculate pay for various types of employees and tax rates. The code compiles and runs, but generates zeroes for the various calculations that take place in the functions. Any advice or help would be deeply appreciated.

I have included a file, as that might make my code easier to read that the pasted code below. Thanks again, kindly.

Maybe you could isolate one function and that function call that produces the zeros and post that...Posting ~ three hundred lines of code and saying it doesn't work - fix it please - is infuriating.

Add #include <cstdlib> at the top.
Tip: Next time you have a problem, try to write the error messages you have, and if it is possible, isolate the part of the program where you get the error.

There are no error messages; as I said in the initial thread header, it compiles and runs.

Try reading how to create function in C++

You have this.

float calcManagerGross(float)//??????float what?
{
     float rate, gross; 
     gross = 40*(rate); 
     return(gross);    
}

How could you write ~ 300 lines of code and not once check if the code was producing correct results?

After going through this it is clear that you do not understand a few things.

#1 you have to name your arguments/parameters for your functions (except for the function proto-types)
#2 you are using uninitialized variables in calculations (this is why you are getting 0)
#3 you are not passing the right variables into your functions and you are not using the passed variables within your function

Even if you did pass the correct variables in and there were no other problems, your formula for calculating the union fees and government taxes is incorrect (it should be gross*taxrate).

I have attached a revised copy that you should compare side by side with your original. The primary changes are where you call your calculation functions and your function definitions.

Edit: You should take a look at this page on functions.

Thanks for the help, I will take a look at this. And for the record, yes, it should be obvious that there are things that I don't understand about arrays, passing to functions, etc: I'm a student, and learning them now. Also, if I understood them well, I wouldn't need to ask for help. But, I appreciate the guidance and will follow up on the links and help offered. Thanks.
